Mosta

We were in Valletta and had already completed the program we had prepared. We thought of going to Mosta to see the huge dome of the church. We took the bus and quickly landed in the city. The church was closed. I asked a park attendant and they said it would open back up at 4 p.m., so we relaxed on a terrace bar and had a snack. It opened at 3:30. We entered into a magnificent spectacle. The dome is immense. It's supported by eight huge columns and it seems impossible to make something so big. It's about 26 meters in diameter - enormous. Like all self-respecting Maltese churches, the frescoes are beautiful with huge images and during Easter, there is a competition for who can best decorate the sanctuary.
